Caution. Verify the status of the stop operation after using a STOP TMF command with the

NOWAIT option, but before entering the START command. Enter the DISPLAY OPERATIONS

command to verify that the shutdown was complete; otherwise, damage to your database can

occur during the restart. In the DISPLAY OPERATIONS command, use the operation number

returned by the STOP TMF command-acceptance message or the appropriate date-time

specification.

If you use the START TMF command with the NOWAIT option, also use DISPLAY

OPERATIONS to verify the status of the start operation.

In addition, if multiple users are accessing your TMFSERVE process through multiple

TMFCOM processes, be sure to communicate your intentions to stop or restart TMF.
